    Duramax vs Cummins HMMWV Conversions

    Keep one HMMWV all stock for the purist, but if you have more than one HMMWV I would go with a lbz 6.6 with allison 6 speed auto.. That is my plan. I will keep everything else stock looking. The Dmax sounds more like a 6.5 that the loud cummins. Then when I am driving down the road and people...

    M998 6.5 motor swap advice

    it will not be cheap, but now (needing a new engine) is a great time to consider a 6.6 duramax with an allison 6 speed. Then sell off your old parts

    Paint job

    you can sand blast aluminum at low psi with some media without warping, but if you remove the alodine coating, either by sand blasting or hand sanding, make sure you prime before you paint.. Paint doesn't stick to bare aluminum.

    Upgrading to 4l80e
